Noncommunicable Diseases Progress Monitor 2015

Overview

In May 2015, the Director-General published a Technical Note on how WHO will report in 2017 to the United Nations General Assembly on the progress achieved in the implementation of national commitments included in the 2011 UN Political Declaration and the 2014 UN Outcome Document on NCDs. The Technical Note included a set of ten progress monitoring indicators which are intended to show the progress achieved in countries in the implementation of the four time-bound commitments for 2015 and 2016 included in the 2014 Outcome Document. The focus in the NCD Progress Monitor report is on presenting information for each country related to their achievement of these progress monitoring indicators.
